The draw for the knockout stages of the Europa League gave its verdict this Friday noon, at UEFA headquarters in Nyon (Switzerland). Les Rouge et Blanc will face Braga away on Thursday 10 March, before a return match at Stade Louis-II on Thursday 17.
Wissam Ben Yedder’s teammates are established! AS Monaco will indeed face Braga in the round of 16 of the Europa League. The draw made this Friday noon at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, indeed gave its verdict. The Red and Whites, who have the home advantage in the second leg, benefiting from first place in the group obtained last autumn, will travel to the Estadio Axa on Thursday 10 March.
The 17th Round of 16 in Club history
They will then host the for the second round at the Stade Louis-II a week later, on Thursday March 17. A double confrontation which is part of a dantesque month of March for the Monegasques, who already have a semi-final of the Coupe de France against Nantes (Wednesday March 2) and two clashes against OM (Sunday March 6) and against PSG (Sunday March 20) on the program.
For the moment I only know their results and I know that they are fourth in their championship. We will therefore watch many of their matches in the coming days to study them well and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. We are entering the knockout phase of the competition and all the teams still involved therefore have qualities.
About Braga
It will in any case be the first confrontation between the two teams in continental competition. Cesc Fร bregas’ teammates, on the other hand, conceded a draw against the Portuguese in a friendly during the pre-season stage in the summer of 2019 (0-0). AS Monaco will also play for the 17th time in its history a round of 16 in the European Cup, his 5th in the Europa League, formerly called the UEFA Cup.
